Rasmus Andersson, designer of the Inter font (used on this website) is building a new operating system for creatives called Playbit. I’m really curious about how it’s going to look like but I’m confident it will be amazing.

Animate with springs

I’ve been using springs a couple of times on web productions such as Philippe Neveu’s portfolio and released an open-source library on Github. This is a great talk at the latest WWDC conference by Apple about springs and how they can be useful for interruptible animations in interfaces.
